No.

ARM or RISC-V.

Apple makes some very nice ARM machines. If you’re running Windows, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-arm-base...

That can be rendered inoperable any time Apple decides to force you to upgrade. Horrible advice.

Also, ARM/RISC-V is still new. Lots of stuff has poor compatibility, and no, compiling everything from source isn't a solution.

It's nieve to suggest that compiling everything from source is the only way. Windows and macOS work on ARM, as well as many Linux distros (e.g. Ubuntu, Arch/Manjaro, Fedora, Linux Mint, and the list goes on).
